Why are almost all fantasy settings based on Europe?
>>
europe is great
>>
Because most fantasy writers are from Europe or America and American history doesn't go back far enough for most fantasy settings unless you want to base it on the Native Americans.
>>
>>49294929
Why are so many vaguely historical at all? What the hell happened to Oz, Wonderland, and the like?
>>
>>49294929
Are they really though?
They're often so far removed from reality, the only thing connecting them to romanticized feudal europe is the accompanying art and depictions. Fill in your own esthetic and europe can't be recognized.

>>49294968
Because then you'd have to explain far more about the world, loosely basing it on something real means that the players already know how some parts of the world work and can plan accordingly. Stuff like Oz, Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass works for stories because the character doesn't have to understand these things but players do in order to have agency.

They are unrelatable and thus, boring to play. The real question is: why is everyone fanning over Tolkien and Lovercraft when they could read some other classic autor, like Lord Dunsany, for ispiration?

Eh. I know Unknown Armies isn't a perfect analogue because you can relate to the real world as a baseline, but the really relevant stuff you're supposed to be interacting with is legit topsy turvy. The incomplete information problems you face and the situations you get yourself into as a result are part of the appeal here. And it's a blast to play.

It's not like the logic puzzle or riddle as gameplay has no early antecedents in tabletop gaming either.

>>49295215
Depending on what you're reading, Dunsany isn't too far outside the ballpark of old other world fantasy. I'm a big fan though, yeah.

White fear is a real thing.
The inability to co-exist is not a physical barrier - purely mental. Europe has been toting itself as superior to America culturally for decades, but that's because they've never struggled with issues of race.

America is by far the stronger and more civilized country wherein human rights are concerned.

Why should I want to co-exist with a bunch of foreigners who do not care about my people, culture or history, and do not belong in my homeland?

I care only about other Finns, they are my people, my kin, my family. Other groups of people are meaningless to me, as is their suffering. I wouldn't care if all the refugees were put into camps and shot. They are not my people and their hardship means nothing to me.

>Lord Dunsany
Here's the awnser, you won't like it.

Lovecraft was influenced by Poe and Dunsany. During his start as a writter his poeish pieces got more attention until he morphed them into what we call his lovecraft pieces. It's not a stretch to think there were more than a few other writers that tried to emulate Dunsany but they too were ignored at large while Tolkien rip offs were more accepted be by accident, marketing, or just being liked by the majority of society. Lovecraft only really survived by marketing as one of his contacts decided to open a publication to keep churning out his stories and his own additions to it giving it more exposure of an idea that was novel at the time.

What exactly is wrong with tribalism?
A tribe who favors it's own will ultimately be more successful than a tribe that welcomes every outsider who seeks to take it's resources.

Also, when you belong to a people that numbers in only just 5 million, you need to be tribal. My people are a drop in the global ocean, and if we are not careful, we will die out, either via mongrelization, or via war.

My people won our freedom with blood and sweat, and I'll be damned if I see this land,that my forefathers bled to make free for our people to live in peace, host parasitic foreigners who hate everything we are.

The difference is that the imperial powers actually IMPROVED the lands they came to, literally giving them civilization and most of the benefits that came with it.
Not saying that the colonialists weren't perfect (looking at you, Leopold), but comparing colonization to 3rd world hordes flooding your nation is a false equivalency.

The former actually had benefits to the invaded.

'Racism' is a new thing; but it's just another goad to whip the ignorant into line. You can't reason with these idiots: you have to let them flame out and die on their own. And don't worry: they WILL do it, to themselves, by themselves. They just can't help it - they's dumb!
And remember: their pathetic words are all they have. They are powerless. They have no influence, no say. They are the disenfranchised. They are not actually crying out against 'the other' - whomever the other may be. No. They are crying out against their own powerlessness. They are not saying: "I hate niggers!" They are saying: "Somebody love me please!"
They are, in a word, pathetic. They deserve your sympathy and support.
Give them a cookie and a hug, and remember they are just adorable wee spergs making angry noises in their little corner.

Being under the rule of foreign powers who used us to fight their wars, and taxed us to near starvation (and didn't help when famines actually decimated our population), all the while living in unhospitable, cold, wooden wilderness, sorta hampers population growth.

I never said Britain was perfect, hence why I work to IMPROVE it. But 'improvement' does not mean closing oneself off to everything else. That's been tried and it only leads to stagnation. The only sure way to make everyone better forever, is by education. NO-ONE, regardless of if they're European, Middle-Eastern, African, East Asian, Indian, or any other race, has a right to ignorance. That includes you.

Make people, ALL people, better. Don't just remove segments and say the average is improved.

>>49295941
Tolerance long enough to educate and integrate IS a virtue, or at least a skill. I'm not saying that it's okay to come to another nation, another culture and demand it change to suit you, or that you are allowed to sit stagnant and unchanging.

What I'm trying to say is that WE need to change and so do THEY. Only by doing so, by finding and keeping the best of ALL cultures, can we make something that is worth truly being proud of. It is a journey that is never going to end, but it is worth walking all the same.

And then we get people like you, who believe those that change with the times and the world are foolish and that by clinging to some imagined, invented past, they will be strong. As I said before, that has BEEN tried and it didn't work. Madness lies in doing the same thing and expecting different results.

And what I'm saying is that there's not much good to come out of other cultures, except maybe the Asians. There's a reason why Europeans and Asians are the great surviving civilizations, and it's not blind luck.

>And then we get people like you, who believe those that change with the times and the world are foolish and that by clinging to some imagined, invented past, they will be strong.
The times change because people change them.
Rather than blindly walking forward in the name of progress, anon, perhaps you should stop and ask yourself "am I even walking in the right direction?"
The assumption that all cultures have something good to offer, or that they are all equally objectively valid, is a dangerous one.

I don't hate them for not being white.
I hate them for not being Finns. They are not my people, and don't belong here. Their roots are not here, their ancestors did not sacrifice their lives to fight for our freedom, or help to build our country to what it is right now. I hate them, for they are trespassing on soil that was never meant for their filthy feet. This is the land of my kin, not theirs.

It's a two-way street. There's always SOMETHING good to take away from contact with another culture; we just have to find what that is with the culture the migrants bring with them.

Not even that guy, but a meritocracy is literally the only form of government that is worth exploring. Old feudalisms didn't work because they locked talented people out of positions of power and locked the talentless IN positions of power. Modern democracies don't work because it relies upon the average voter having half a fucking clue about the issues s/he is voting on and not just falling into factionalism.

Leadership by those best able to lead is the only government I consider to be worth the time of day. The issue then is that you must quantify 'ability to rule', as well as 'moral capability to rule'.

The biggest hurdle of any form of government is humanity's tendency to create people who break the rules. Any system looks good in theory and on paper, but will fall apart becasue apparently people don't have enough foresight to take the fucking rulebreakers into account. I like the idea of a meritocracy, but it will be hard to implement. What if a person meets the requirement for ruling but turns out to abuse the power? They get overthrown, but what measures are in place to prevent the next guy from doing the same thing? Who is the one who decide whether or not the ruler has crossed the line or not? How do keep it from falling into factionalism, fascism, or communism?

Generally it only hits the superficial aspects, so you get a coat of paint over a normal adventure

On the off chance you get deeper aspects and actual far eastern stories they're almost certainly not going to hit all the tropes and conventions you're used to and expect, it'll be designed to resonate with values that are different to your own: overall it's likely to come off as weird and somewhat unfinished while important nuances are lost because the story is different to the ones you've seen in various forms growing up

They weren't iron age weapons entirely, that's just films being films. The Zulus also had muskets, some rifles, and like many native tribes they were provided with some reasonable support weapons from other European powers.

You can be as stupid as you like so long as you can pay a smart person to do it for you. Is this really the argument you are going to take? Because, as you know, the people who do the work rule the world - the people who pay for it merely think they rule. What happens when no one shows up to work the refinery? Nothing! And no amount of money will change it. So those poor arab cucks are sitting on top of a refinery that then does nothing. How good are they then? About as good as them african countries that also can't do shit all for themselves. The only reason arabs are rich is because the west needs oil, and is sending its educated engineers east to get that oil. When the oil's gone, the arabs go back to being poor, just like africa. Because they didn't bother to educate their people.
I love how you're arguing for mass human enslavement, though.

Read the UN definition. You do not need to kill every single person so long as your policy is intended to destroy the cultural (or other) group.

That said, the UN definition is a political cpnstruction. For example: It included class groups until Stalin got his hands on it and realized he would be responsible for genocide under the law unless he got it changed.
>>
>>49297468
>Because, as you know, the people who do the work rule the world - the people who pay for it merely think they rule.

No they don't - their servitude to their bosses is a fact. This is why monarchies and elites came about before the metal ages and why marxism never took off without vangurad parties and permanent dictatorships.

The Gulf Arabs have enough from oil that they can install contignencies (and are) before it runs out. They will never be as bad off as Africa or Pakistan/India or the Balkan Slavs even if they will not have as much influence without oil.

until it isn't, then what? then their world falls apart - unless they have an armed force ready to push their agenda for them. But again - who controls that armed force? Ostensibly, the rich folk; but, in reality the armed force is a force in and of itself. If it so chose, it could, quite easily, depose the wealthy elites and install itself as leader. I mean, the wealthy don't have tanks and guns - the soldiers have them.

Someone built a big theory on that, it didn't amount to much except creating dictatorships which really didn't differ from ones that didn't apply the theory.

The soldiers won't take over in Gulf Arab countries because the tribal allegiances to make an unified front. Makes it a pretty bad military in a real conflict against another state but those aren't in sight.

Why is the 'culture' dead at that point? It could still be carried on by the men/women/survivors, could it not? And 'culture' has absolutely nothing to do with blood/genetics. True, there would be blood/genetic alterations: is this a significant thing? For species diversity, yes, obviously; but for 'racial' politics? Does the genetics of a group affect its culture? Is genocide a wiping out of genetics, or a wiping out of culture? Which is more important? Where are all these questions coming from? Aaaaaaaa!

Lets consider this: analysis of ancient DNA revealed there is not a single ethnicity in Europe that resembles stone-age hunter gatherers of Europe ("Loschbour" from Luxembourg 8000 years ago is an example).

Yes, but that theory didn't take human nature into account - it assumed an enlightened elite; and there ain't no such thing. At best, the elite might develop a sense of enlightened self-interest; but that's a far cry from being a platonic ideal. All leadership models fail because people with power suck. People use their power for shitty things. Shitty selfish things that hurt others. We are, fundamentally, viciously selfish. It takes great effort and training to be selfless.
>>

Methods of governance under radically distributed power are always interesting to consider, though. The Somalis have a form of pluralistic judicial system, where there's no formal institution, but there's absolutely a formal structure, and it's followed to the letter. The Xeer, I think it was called. There are also really interesting -- again, in concept, perhaps not in practice -- structures under libertarian socialist thinking, democratic confederalism, autonomism, syndicalism, and so on.

That's the trick - the peasants needed protection, the church sanctioned feudalism (i.e. give this goon half your shit, he'll wack anybody who bugs you), and then the corruption set in (i.e. the goon got greedy, took all your shit, then wacked you and brought in new peasants, took all their shit....). I would argue there was no enlightened elite, or if there was, it was for perhaps only one generation at the beginning. People will always look for an advantage over others. And use it. Hence corruption.

Yes. But in fairness even a truly isolationist nationalist can work for another country's benefit. Imagine a Latvian Nationalist who wants to drop out of Nato and UN and kill all jews & russians in Latvia, that's the kind of Latvian an expansionist Russian politician likes the most.

What the fuck you talkin about nigga? I'm just against stupid. Keep arguing for the rightness of your depraved indifference, fool.
America is the biggest nationalistic nation there is. They don't give a shit about any other country on the earth. And yet, they still engage with the rest of the world every single day; they NEED the world; they NEED the world to be stable; they NEED the world to be productive; they NEED the world to be safe. So, they spend TRILLIONS of dollars worth of their national treasure and THOUSANDS of human lives going about the world making sure other countries do not fail. WHY, you ask? Because it is IN THEIR INTERESTS that the world function effectively.
If Americans can realize this, what in the actual fuck is wrong with Finland that it CAN'T realize this? Huh?
Go on, argue that 'not caring one whit' about a country is in your national interests. Do it. It won't work, though. So you won't.
And I still love how you insist on parsing the 'difference' between not caring about anothers' fate and wishing them ill will. Indifference is no better than malevolence, anon. It's just a better, more moral-sounding excuse.

Africa has it's own myths, but they're not really much different than European ones for the most part. I actually draw more on Southern spiritualism, New Age shit, and Indian mythology for my setting, though there's still a European inspired place in the setting, because that's the easiest thing for some people to relate to.

Black American, btw

>I'm white British. I'm generally proud to be white and British and I believe it's my duty to help improve my nation

>Your nationalism and racism is poisoning your own well.

Seems like you're a hypocrite. Being proud of being white/British means that to a certain degree you feel "special" or "better" than other nations/peoples.

No worries though. Muhammad is already the most popular boys name in England.

Diversity will rape the nationalism out of you and with it, white Britain.
